Mushroom Chilly
A delicious Indo-Chinese favorite, Mushroom Chilly is a vibrant, spicy, and tangy stir-fry dish that’s loved for its bold flavors and juicy, tender bite. Perfect as an appetizer or a side dish, this vegetarian twist on the classic Chilly Chicken brings mushrooms to life with signature Indo-Chinese seasonings.
Fresh mushrooms — usually button mushrooms — are cleaned, sliced, and lightly coated in a seasoned flour or cornstarch batter, then shallow or deep-fried until they’re golden and slightly crisp outside while remaining juicy inside.
These crispy mushrooms are then tossed in a hot wok with sliced onions, colorful bell peppers, green chilies, and a generous amount of chopped garlic and ginger. Everything is quickly stir-fried over high heat to keep the vegetables crisp and bring out a smoky wok aroma.
A bold sauce made from soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, and a dash of black pepper or red chili flakes coats the mushrooms, giving them that irresistible spicy-tangy flavor with a hint of sweetness.
Finished with a sprinkle of fresh spring onions, Mushroom Chilly is served hot — perfect on its own as a starter or as a flavorful side with fried rice or noodles. It’s spicy, saucy, and packed with that iconic Indo-Chinese taste in every bite!
